Your mission, should you choose to accept it...

Is to build two International Moths, including making your own tubes, spars, foils and tramps, in 3 weeks.

Sounds a bit silly really, but this is what I've been up to lately, i was planning on having my new boat on the water at the beginning of June and then go sailing a lot. As it turns out I only really started them both 2 weeks ago. A few 14 hour days later and they are both due on the water on Wednesday...

Morocco Mole (3370) is the first of the two and is being made for Martin Fear at BCYC. This is the base boat and is basically an Axiom v4 with bonded wing bars, high modulus rear bars and a new skinny Aardvark spar.

Secret Squirrel (3371) is my new boat and is the same as the above, but with a few neat touches on top - how many depends on how much spare time I have before heading for Weymouth next weekend for a week of chilling out and a bit of sailing...

Thanks to Harken for coming good with the hardware as usual, Hyde for the shiny new sails which arrived on Friday and my team helping out with the mammoth mission, Emma, Martin, Sharon and Terry....
